Think gooey, fudgy, delicious dark chocolate cookies! Even better, add adorable pink and red heart sprinkles and you’re all set for Valentine’s Day! I actually had leftover ingredients from a Christmas cookie baking day at which I was going to make peppermint fudge cookies, but ran out of time. I wanted to make good use of most of the ingredients, so I ditched the peppermint and adapted the recipe a bit to fit the next holiday – Valentine’s Day. 

This is a super easy recipe because you use a cake mix to make the cookies, chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to make the frosting and any sprinkles you want to decorate. I picked up a carousel of Valentine’s sprinkles from Target, but you can really use whatever sprinkles fit the occasion you’re celebrating. 

The frosting is what makes these cookies unreal! They are soooo rich and gooey. All you have to do is melt dark chocolate chips. I take the easy way out and melt them using the microwave in 1 minute increments on 50% power until they are melted. Then I just stir in a little heavy whipping cream and keep adding it until it is the consistency I want. 

These cookies are mom tested and Wonder Girl approved! Mmmmm! Check out the full recipe below.
